After winning the crown two days ago in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she is spending a few days in Rio de Janeiro (she is Angolan, so, she speaks Portuguese, the same language of Brazil).

Here is a picture of her in a restaurant of Rio de Janeiro today:

Commercial modeling mostly I thinking about getting into fitness modeling as well. I've always wanted to model but couldn't because I was told I was too short and too fat for high fashion

Because most high fashion agencies want to to be taller than 5'7 and bone thin which I'm not so I can't get into that....

You have to be in super duper shape to do fitness modeling. Here is a typical fitness model. These are not your bodybuilding women, but they are not too far from that. These are usually the women who are personal trainers in most gyms.

You must not only be really very very pretty, you are probably also a member of 2-3 gyms AND workout twice per day or so.

I think you know what I was getting at. Have you entered any Fitness competitions yet? Just about ALL of the fitness models start with the fitness competitions. The only fitness models who didnt do the competitions are the athletes.

I know a LOT of really fit, really beautiful girls, and while there is never a shortage of people who want to take their pictures, becoming an actual Fitness Model is tough. Even for these hot girls here in Los Angeles. You not only need the looks, you also must have the resume. Just wondering if you have all of this or if this is just a dream of yours.

Of the ones know they started on commercial to build up a resume. Most everyone did have some sort of training/classes on how to move in front of the camera etc.

I suggest:
- training - body, movement and professional attitude grooming
- find agent - note that if they are taking more from you than 10-15%, or charge you to do anything they are a scam artist. You will need pictures though and depending on the agency you may have to pay a photographer for that.

I don't know where you are in the US but you probably should move to NYC or LA to really find decent pay and steady work. LA is more commercial and if you are not from there you may stand out more in the market if you retain yourself. Its not just the sexy look that sells. Fresh faced always makes more steady money and leaves the doors open to do more things. Make sure you don't pigeon hole yourself to sexy looks only. And stay away from nudity of any type. There are companies you will never get a job with if the find out you did that. And if you lie, get the job, and later on the find out they can sue you. Do not sell your image to stock photo places. And do check any contracts for mother agency and auto renewal clauses.
